This invention relates generally to :paint brushes, the invention having more particular reference to a novel type ofpaint brush. The invention has for an obj ect the provision of an improved` magazine paint brush which will permit of rapid painting. object is to provide a device of this nature in which the flow of paint, or the thickness of the coat being applied maybe automatically regulated. Anotherobjectis to provide a means of varying or changing the size of the brush proper or the bristles.

'For further comprehensionl of the inven tion, and of the obj ects and advantages thereof, reference will be had tothe following description and accompanying drawing, and to the appended claims in which the various novel features of the invention are more particularly set forth.

Fig. 1 of the drawing is a front elevational view of my improved suction paintlbrush, showing certain parts in section.

Fig. 2 is 'a side elevational view thereof.

Fig. 3 is a detail sectional view of .a brush proper, as may be used in connectionwith my improved device, showing a modification.

VAs here embodied my improved suction paint brush comprises briefly 'a brush head 10 having bristles 11 Vand one or more apertures 12 and a body 19 `or container to accommodate a piston 13 or disc, being a slidable it inside the body 19 and having an extension 14 protruding through the handle 15 of the body 19.

As a means of regulating thefiow of paint, I have provided azbutton 16 or any suitable handle attached to a rod 17 andhaving at its lower extremity contact with a suitable lever 18 or bell crank pivoted conveniently from thebody 19 as designated by the numeral 20 and making contact, at its lower eX-V tremity 21, with the slidable bar 22 having a plurality 'of apertures 23 to register with the apertures 24 inthe cross piece 25. The heretofore mentioned construction is such as will permit the apertures 24 of the cross piece 25 to be either closed, partly opened or fully opened. The springs V26 and 27 are provided to hold the pawl 28 against any oneof the selected notches 29, except when released by means of the protruding lever 30, the last mentioned construction being such as will hold the slidable bar 22 in any desired position.

A further y,

Thevhousing 31 is of any' suitable design and conveniently located to rlhe brush-.head 10 Ahas two of its opposite extremities curved upwards and nwards as designated by the numeral 32, so vas to be suitably attached to the lower eX- tremity of the body'19, saidv body havinga plurality of apertures 33 suitably located on is bottom'surface. VAsl a means of holding the brush head 10 inlposition, V( have pro-I vided leaf springs 34er any similar .device pivoted at 35,.,so as to be swung outward when it is .desired to remove or change the brush Yhead 10.

Referring to Figure 8, showing a modification of my improved device, Vas a means of accommodate the abovegmentioned mecha closing, when so desir-ed,one orV more'lof the said .apertures Swhile retaining the remaining apertures open, I have provided a second slidable barv 36 having aperture? andlmal;` '75 ingfrcontact with the- ,extension "21` ofthe lower extremity'v 21 of the lever 318, which may be extended and held invplace by a set screw 88 or'any; similar device, so that the second slidable bar maybe operated, when the extension 21 vis extended, by the button 16 attached to the rod 17. A .substantially narrow brush, head maybe v'attacl-iedto the magazine -handle in position below the apertures which are not closed by the slidable V bar 36.

It is obvious, that if the lower portion of my improved suction paint brush is immersed in a pot or container of paint orany liquid vand the rod 14 pulled upward, that paint 90 willenter the body 19 being drawn'n by the suction of the piston 13.- i

It is further obvious that by-opening the` apertures 24 that the paint thus drawn in the body 19 may be applied or spread by 95 means of the bristles 11. i i

It is also obvious that by means of the Y slidable bar 22 that the flow of paint may be regulated as desired. l

Itis also obvious that by changing the brush headlO that wide or narrow surfaces may be painted as desired; i

It will beunderstood that, my improvedv suction paint brush may be made of any suitable materials as may be required for a de` `105 vice of this nature. i

l/Vhile Ihave above described the preferred form, construction, and arrangement of the several elements employed, it will be understood that the device is, nevertheless, susl l ceptihle fof 'Considerable modifieation there- V lows :f-
